Registrations for the 2019 Summer School on spatial and spatiotemporal computing: processing large-scale Earth observation (University of Münster, Sept 1–7, 2019) are now open. For more info see:
https://opengeohub.org/summer_school_2019
Registration deadline: 15th of February 2019 24:00 CET.
This summer school is limited to 65 participants. In the case of higher number of applications invitations candidates will be selected based on a ranking system, which is based on: solidarity, academic output and contributions to the open source projects. To remove geographical bias, participants coming from more distant areas have a priority on the rankings list.
Lecturers:
- Edzer Pebesma: Analyzing large amounts of Earth Observation data with R and openEO
- Roger Bivand: Not just R-spatial: sustaining open source geospatial software stacks / Data, data everywhere, nor any drop to analyse (without making brave assumptions about how the data represent underlying processes)
- Michael Sumner: Computer graphics data structures for geo-spatial / Building a data library and R toolkit for domain-specific research group / Challenges of working with data in polar regions
- Markus Neteler: Cloud based processing of geo and Earth observation data / Introduction to GRASS GIS / Advanced data analysis in GRASS GIS
- Veronica Andreo: Analysis of space-time satellite data for disease ecology applications with GRASS GIS and R stats / Analyzing space-time satellite data with GRASS GIS for environmental monitoring
- Martijn Tennekes: Creating thematic maps in R (tmap package)
- Tomislav Hengl: Computing with large rasters in R: introduction to tiling and parallelization / Spatial and Spatiotemporal prediction using ensemble Machine Learning
- Hanna Meyer: Machine learning strategies for spatio-temporal data
- Anita Graser: Analyzing movement data
- Madlene Nussbaum: Mastering machine learning for spatial prediction - overview and introduction in methods / model selection and interpretation, uncertainty
- Meng Lu: Assessment of global air pollution exposure
